Chapter 1611: Everything Is Illusory

"Tsk tsk, Diewumeng this woman is truly insane, and truly audacious, daring to deceive the thunder tribulation; no wonder this tribulation is so wild, like a heavenly punishment."

"This is the punishment that Heaven has sent down for her deception; with only the final thunder tribulation left, Diewumeng can Advancement to the Tribulation Realm. This woman is truly insane, daring to use this method to cross the tribulation; the people of the Corpse Refining Sect are also part of her scheme, perhaps even one of the components she uses to cross the tribulation."

"Damn, so that's it; I get it. Diewumeng deliberately caused all this commotion, just to draw them into the Mangshan Mountain Range, then use them to share the thunder tribulation's power, thereby ensuring she herself passes the tribulation."

"This woman is truly insane; she's a lunatic, even crazier than you, kid."

"Heishanyang muttered like a madman, as if chanting sutras, watching the whole scene. As an outsider, it saw more clearly and naturally could see through the essence of this thunder tribulation, shocked by Diewumeng's madness."

"There aren't many things that can shock it; Chen Chuyang is one, Qinglong Daoren is another. Besides those, Diewumeng this woman now astonishes it beyond measure—her method of crossing the tribulation is something it never imagined. Diewumeng not only thought that way, she acted on it; her nerve is truly audacious."

"This woman's nerve is no less than mine; I wouldn't even dare to deceive the thunder tribulation, yet she not only deceived it, she also toyed with it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, after all these years, I finally get to see such a crazy woman."

"Kid, Diewumeng is a talent; this thunder tribulation cannot stop her."

"Heishanyang sees through everything and is full of confidence in Diewumeng. The final thunder tribulation cannot kill Diewumeng; in the Tribulation Realm, she will surely Advancement successfully. Such a talent must be recruited as a subordinate; perhaps Chen Chuyang that kid could capture Diewumeng, and the child they conceive would surely be extraordinary."

"Kid, capture her, use every means to get Diewumeng; this woman is even more outstanding than Bai Xinlan and her companions."

"You must capture her; I'll give you a hand, kid, what do you think?"

"Diewumeng's beauty is not lacking; in the Mangshan Mountain Range she is truly stunning. From a certain perspective she is more attractive than the Bai Xinlan master–disciple pair. If they capture Diewumeng, their situation will improve greatly, no longer needing to rely on the Luotian White Snake Clan."

"Moreover, Diewumeng has a deal with them; if Chen Chuyang that kid pushes harder, he can capture Diewumeng."

"Heishanyang has never been this excited, never this agitated; he hopes Chen Chuyang truly can capture Diewumeng."

"Qinglong Daoren opened his eyes, glanced at Heishanyang, and said helplessly, 'Enough, stop assigning me tasks. Diewumeng this woman isn't that easy to fool; if Elder Xinran finds out, I won't be let off.'"

"Besides, Hongxue and Hongchen still don't know about the two of them; if I, as the main body, attract Diewumeng's trouble, what will become of me later?"

"Heishanyang chuckled, 'Leave these to Chen Chuyang that kid; you must trust Chen Chuyang, he can handle all the women.'"

"And you, you only need to help him capture Diewumeng; Qinglong kid, this is a rare opportunity—Diewumeng this woman is also exceptionally outstanding, worth the risk once."

"Don't worry about Chen Chuyang that kid; you and I will help together. Even if it's a bit hard, we must still fool Diewumeng."

"Qinglong Daoren rolled his eyes at Heishanyang, waved his hand, 'Enough, we'll discuss this later; Diewumeng hasn't yet passed the thunder tribulation.'"

"This thunder tribulation hasn't ended; the final thunder tribulation is still pending. The thunder dragon has fully formed, a gigantic dragon head, ferocious and terrifying, its flashing tribulation power exuding a sense of hopelessness. Qinglong Daoren raises his head, fixes his gaze on that dragon head, his heart pounding."

"The thunder dragon formed from condensed thunder tribulation power—what a massive force. If I could devour it, my path of the thunder tribulation would surely Advancement to an unimaginable level."

"Heishanyang's pupils widened as he heard that: 'Qinglong kid, don't be reckless; that's not something you can devour. If you want to die, go die yourself; don't drag me into it.'"

"'I was just talking,' Qinglong Daoren waved his hand, not truly believing he could devour that thunder dragon."

"If the main body were present, this could be done; relying on just him alone is impossible, so it's better to stay stable and absorb the scattered thunder tribulation power—that alone is sufficient."

"'The final thunder tribulation is about to descend; will Diewumeng succeed?' Qinglong Daoren fixed his gaze on Diewumeng's main body; that illusion can only deceive others, but cannot deceive him."

"Boom—"

"Roar—"

"Lightning bombarded the sky, the thunder dragon roared, shaking heaven and earth."

"The excited first corpse, Jiang Tiansheng, and his companions stared up in astonishment, fixing their eyes on the thunder dragon in the sky; at that moment, he didn't understand what was happening at all."

"Diewumeng hasn't died, the thunder tribulation continues; then, what about that figure?"

"Is it an illusion? Is all this just a hallucination?"

"Everything is illusory, not the real world?"

"At that moment, Jiang Tiansheng recalled Diewumeng's divine skill, her Dao; wasn't it that she hides herself within falsehood, having grown to deceive everyone, so everything that just happened was real, except Diewumeng herself was false."

"They were all deceived, the Six-Eyed Demon King was also deceived, everyone was deceived by Diewumeng."

"The illusion began to shatter."

"Under the thunder dragon's bombardment, everything scattered."

"Like glass shattered, the true Diewumeng was revealed; she stood in the sky, uninjured, in her prime, Diewumeng stared at the thunder dragon above, meeting the tribulation head‑on."

"Diewumeng!!" The first corpse, Jiang Tiansheng, gritted his teeth, his heart exploding with anger.

"All along, he had been deceived; everything he did was in vain."

"At that moment, his mindset shattered; his heart wavered."

"Pfft."

"A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out; Jiang Tiansheng couldn't accept it, recalling everything he had done, all the sacrifices, all wasted."

"Diewumeng did nothing at all; instead she toyed with him, making him think he had succeeded."

"The facts proved he was wrong, egregiously so; even the Six-Eyed Demon King thought he had slain Diewumeng, achieving success and retiring. In the end, however, it turned out to be false; they were all deceived."

"It left them unable to believe, how… to accept all this?"

"The second corpse and the red-eyed corpse fell silent, forgetting to act, staring wide‑eyed at the figure in the sky; it wasn't that they wouldn't act, but they worried it might be an illusion—what should they do?"

"Moreover, the thunder dragon in the sky locked onto them; everyone around was sealed by the thunder tribulation."

"Bai Qingshuang immediately issued the order: 'All units retreat.'"

"Black Tiger and his companions retreated at once, moving away from the tribulation's core; even if this thunder tribulation wasn't aimed at them, it could still injure them."

Hei Hu and the others immediately retreated, staying away from the center of the heavenly tribulation; even if this heavenly tribulation was not aimed at them, it could still injure them.
